Field Trip Attendance Without Checklists or Roll Calls

Managing attendance on field trips is stressful. My Group Online helps teachers and coordinators instantly see which students are present—without paper lists, apps for students, or internet access.

The Challenge with Field Trips

  • Students move between locations – Tracking who is where becomes chaotic
  • Chaperones lose track during transitions – Headcounts take too long with large groups
  • Internet access is unreliable – Museums, buses, and outdoor sites often lack connectivity
  • Privacy requirements are strict – Student data must be protected
